High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

As Su Jie got into the swing of things, the number of his vital essence and blood surged rapidly. He even began to test the limits of the "Penetrating Void Finger".

When he encountered a Thunder Rhinoceros with an exceptionally powerful aura and an estimated combat strength of nearly 15,000 points, Su Jie gritted his teeth and directly channeled 1600 points of his Qi and Blood into the Void-Piercing Finger!

laugh--!

The finger strike pierced through the air, accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder, instantly penetrating the thick skull of the Thunder Rhinoceros covered with lightning patterns!

[Defeat the general-level monster "Thunder Rhinoceros" to gain 280 contribution points and refine it to obtain 13 points of Blood Essence!]

"1600 Qi and Blood, with a power level of 16,000 combat points! The consumption and power are basically tenfold!" Su Jie realized in his heart, "Moreover, my fingers and meridians have undergone the baptism of the ninth-level martial acupoint, so although the load is huge, I can still bear it!"

With increased confidence, he began to actively seek out more powerful goals.

Finally, he spotted a Lava Earth Dragon located towards the rear of the beast tide. Its body was the size of a small mountain, radiating a terrifyingly scorching aura. Its combat power fluctuation had reached approximately 20,000 points! This was already at the level of a second-tier warrior!

"Damn it, let's go all out! Let's see how powerful the Void-Piercing Finger with 2000 Qi and Blood is!"

Su Jie took a deep breath, adjusted himself to his best condition, and quietly approached. The "Sky-Stepping Technique" allowed him to blend into the environment. It wasn't until he was less than fifty meters away from the lava dragon that the dragon raised its head alertly, its crimson pupils locking onto Su Jie.

"roar!!!"

The lava dragon opened its massive maw, spewing out scorching magma that distorted the air and melted the ground wherever it passed!

"Now!"

Su Jie's eyes were sharp as knives. Instead of retreating, he advanced. At the last second, he sidestepped the core area of ​​the magma breath. At the same time, he put his two fingers together and his two thousand points of blood and qi in his body surged wildly to his fingertips like a flood!

This time, it seemed as if a miniature black hole had formed at the fingertip, frantically devouring the surrounding light and energy, emitting a destructive aura that even the lava dragon feared!

"Piercing Finger! Break it!"

Su Jie let out a low roar and pointed out with one finger!

An invisible finger strike, seemingly capable of tearing through space, traveled at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, instantly traversing tens of meters and striking with unparalleled precision a dark red crystal core in the center of the lava dragon's forehead!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a muffled sound, as if something was being disintegrated from the inside.

The massive body of the lava dragon shuddered violently, its spewing magma abruptly ceasing. Its crimson pupils filled with disbelief and horror, then the light rapidly dimmed. A thumb-sized hole appeared on the crystal core on its forehead, its edges smooth as a mirror.

The next moment, this behemoth with a combat power of up to 20,000 collapsed to the ground with a thud, its life force completely dissipating.

[Defeat the General-level monster "Lava Earth Dragon" and gain 500 Federation Contribution Points!]

[Refining successful! Gained 22 points of Qi and Blood Essence!]

"Huff... Huff..." Su Jie withdrew his fingers, his entire right arm trembling violently, his meridians writhing in excruciating pain, and his face paling. The single consumption of two thousand points of Qi and Blood was far more demanding than before.

But looking at the surge in contribution points and the full 22 points of Qi and Blood Essence on the system panel, all the fatigue and pain turned into extreme excitement!

"Worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

In just a short while, he had penetrated deep behind enemy lines and, single-handedly, had killed more than ten general-level demonic beasts, accumulating nearly two thousand contribution points! Furthermore, the blood essence he had refined had reached an astonishing 89 points!

That's equivalent to 890,000 ordinary Qi and Blood! Enough for him to instantly level up three level 10 Martial Apertures!

"Sure enough, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a man won't get rich without unexpected wealth!" Su Jie licked his slightly chapped lips, his gaze sweeping even more intensely into the depths of the beast horde. "This is nothing! My fellow beast brothers, your Grandpa Su is having a blast!"

Without hesitation, he immediately issued a command to the system: "System, instantly upgrade three martial arts techniques to level 10!"

[Consuming 25 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 10! Combat Power +30!]

[Consuming 25 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 10! Combat Power +30!]

[Consuming 25 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 10! Combat Power +30!]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It felt as if three nuclear bombs were being detonated one after another within his body! The three newly advanced level ten martial acupoints were like three newborn stars, radiating a power far more magnificent and pure than the previous three!

An indescribable feeling of comfort flowed through my whole body. The soreness and numbness in my arms and the burning pain in my meridians caused by overusing the "Dongxu Finger" technique were quickly relieved and healed under the flush of this new energy!

[Current Martial Acupoints: Level 10: 5, Level 9: 94]

[Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 20 points (+1/second)]

[Qi and Blood Essence: 14 points]

[Combat Power: 7080 points!]

"Awesome! So awesome!" Su Jie felt the surging power within his body and the meridians that were noticeably more resilient and wider. He couldn't help but swing his fist, and the air crackled with a piercing sound!

"A level ten martial acupoint can even strengthen the physical body and repair hidden injuries?! This foundation is incredibly powerful!"

He glanced at the remaining 14 points of Qi and Blood Essence. Although it wasn't enough to level up to the next level in an instant, the thrill of leveling up had completely captivated him.

"Not enough? Then go earn more!"

His gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto another two-headed demon wolf not far away, which was roaring to the sky and urging the pack to attack. Its combat power was about 13,000 points.

"You are the one!"

Su Jie's figure disappeared again, as precise and efficient as the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe.

"Stepping to the Heavens" allowed him to move like a ghost, easily avoiding the harassment of low-level monsters along the way. "Penetrating Void Finger" became his most lethal weapon.

This time, he only used a thousand points of Qi and blood, condensed his finger strength, and with a "poof", he pierced through the connection between the two heads of the two-headed demon wolf!

[Defeat the General-level monster "Two-Headed Demon Wolf" and gain 180 contribution points!]

[Refining successful! Gained 8 points of Qi and Blood Essence!]

The total amount of Qi, Blood and Essence has reached 22 points!

"Just 3 more points to level up!" Su Jie's killing intent intensified. His gaze swept across the area and he quickly found another [Steel-Mane Boar King] with a combat power of about 10,000 points.

"Sorry, bro, we were just short of this!"

It was still a clean and swift finger strike, consuming 800 points of Qi and Blood to pierce the skull.

[Defeat the General-level monster "Steel-Maned Boar King" and gain 100 contribution points!]

[Refining successful! Gained 5 points of Qi and Blood Essence!]

Total Qi, Blood and Essence: 27 points!

"Enough! System, give me another upgrade!"

[Consuming 25 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 10! Combat Power +30!]

[Combat Power: 7110 points!]

His power surged again! Su Jie felt his body light and airy, as if he could break free from gravity with the slightest effort. His perception of the surrounding environment became clearer, and he could even "hear" the heavy breathing and tense heartbeats of the soldiers on the distant outpost wall.
